Chapter 33: Searching in the Mountains

Upon hearing the voice, Yu Sanbao's expression changed.

While others were stunned, he had already rushed out.

Everyone came to their senses and rushed out of the door in a swarm.

The person who came into the yard was Su Rouer. She ran and shouted anxiously, and now she was out of breath and panting heavily.

Yu Sanbao rushed forward and held Su Rouer's arm: "Wife, what's wrong? You said Ju Ge'er, what's wrong with Ju Ge'er?"

Hearing Yu Sanbao's question, Su Rouer knew that Ju Ge'er hadn't come back either. Su Rou'er almost collapsed. She didn't care about the conflict with Yu Sanbao anymore. She grabbed Yu Sanbao and cried, "Ju Ge'er, Ju Ge'er is gone! Didn't he come back?!"

Mrs. Wei and Old Man Yu, who came out closely behind, suddenly changed their expressions.

"Ju Ge'er has never come back!" Mrs. Wei said with an unpleasant expression, "How could a four-year-old child come back from the county by himself?!"

Su Rouer couldn't even stand steadily and cried her heart out.

Yu Sanbao was extremely anxious and pulled her up to make her stand firmly: "Wife, please tell me clearly, Ju Ge'er, what happened to Ju Ge'er? When did he disappear?!"

Su Rouer cried, "It was this afternoon. In the afternoon, Ju Ge'er broke his cousin Xiaobao's head. The kid probably ran away because he was afraid of being scolded by us... I looked everywhere, but I couldn't find Ju Ge'er... The lady next door said that she saw Ju Ge'er running out of the alley and asked him where he was going. Ju Ge'er said he was going back to his grandmother's house... But I looked all the way here and I couldn't find Ju Ge'er."

The more Su Rouer spoke, the harder she cried. She burst into tears: "Son, where have you been?"

Mrs. Wei felt dizzy for a moment.

There are a lot of kidnappers nowadays, and it is really dangerous for Ju Ge'er, a four-year-old child, who hasn't come back yet!

Old man Yu was also very anxious and wanted to say something, but when he got anxious, he started coughing and coughed so hard that he couldn't even straighten his back.

Mrs. Wei supported Old Man Yu and patted his back. Su Rouer was still crying. Yu Sanbao was so anxious that he was running around. Mrs. Wei couldn't help but said, "Stop crying! What's the use of crying?"

Su Rouer seemed to have found an outlet to vent her anger. She pushed Yu Sanbao away and cried, "What are you talking about? It was just a small matter, but you forced me to take Ju Ge'er back to my parents' home! If it weren't for this, Ju Ge'er wouldn't have been lost!"

Li Chunhua and Bai Xiaofeng's expressions changed.

What is this old man talking about? !

The expressions of several men in the Yu family also changed.

This third daughter-in-law is really going too far!

Mrs. Wei looked extremely unhappy!

At this time, a childish voice said anxiously: "Auntie, you are wrong! It was you who took Ju Ge'er out, why are you blaming grandma! At that time, grandma and Xingxing went to the county and saw Ju Ge'er alone at the market. Grandma was very worried and told you to keep an eye on Ju Ge'er! At that time, you were even aggressive towards grandma!"

Xingxing was so anxious that she almost cried.

She knew what being lost meant. She had heard from villagers before that she was a lost child - being lost was not a good thing. Now that Ju Ge'er was lost, she knew that her family must be very worried!

But this is not a reason for the third aunt to scold grandma!

Xingxing spoke quickly and urgently with a tearful tone, which was more touching than Su Rouer's hysterical crying.

Even Yu Sanbao suddenly sobered up from his anxiety and looked at Su Rouer with some disappointment.

He had never known such a thing existed.

His mother never said a single bad word to him about his wife.

But looking at his wife, what are these words and actions like?

In fact, Su Rouer felt a little regretful after she said that just now.

But the words had already been said, and Su Rouer was panicking and scared because Ju Ge'er had gotten lost, so she couldn't care less and just bit the bullet and scolded Xing Xing: "You have no right to speak here!"

Mrs. Wei was furious.

Xing Xing bit her lip and tugged at Grandma Wei's sleeve: "Grandma, forget it. I was just too anxious. Third Auntie is the elder... Let's go find Ju Ge'er first."

Xing Xing knew that Ju Ge'er never liked her, so she didn't dare to call Ju Ge'er brother. She could only follow others and call him Ju Ge'er.

Seeing Xing Xing so sensible, Mrs. Wei felt heartbroken. She took a deep breath, ignored Su Rouer, and arranged tasks for the men in the family: "Go find some good people in the village and ask them to help us go into the mountains to look for Ju Ge'er!"

Old Man Yu also said, "I will also go to Old Whitehead to borrow a hunting dog... You guys get some wood, make some torches, and watch the road carefully."

Yu Daniu, Yu Erhu, and Yu Siyang all responded in unison.

Even the brothers of the Yu family went to get their things and prepared to follow their parents into the mountains to look for the item.

Yu Sanbao looked at the still stubborn Su Rouer, pursed his lips and reminded her, "You wait at home." Without saying anything else, he followed the family into the night outside the yard.

Suddenly, only Mrs. Wei, Li Chunhua, Bai Xiaofeng, Su Rouer who was shaking with tears, and Xingxing who also wanted to go out to look for someone were left at home.

Without looking at Su Rou'er, Mrs. Wei told Li Chunhua, "Go to the stove and boil a big pot of ginger soup. Make it thicker. It's very cold in the mountains at night. When they come back, they can drink it to drive away the cold."

Li Chunhua agreed.

Bai Xiaofeng saw that Mrs. Wei hadn't told her to do anything, and fearing that she would be left behind, she took the initiative to say, "Mom, I'll go and help light the fire. I have to do something to feel at ease."

Mrs. Wei nodded, said nothing more, and took Xingxing into the house.

Su Rouer cried in the yard for a long time. Seeing that no one paid attention to her, she gritted her teeth and was about to go out.

Xing Xing walked out of the main house and called out to her, "Third Auntie!"

Su Rouer looked at Xing Xing with a bit of vigilance and disgust.

Xing Xing was a little afraid of such looks, so she shrank back, but still tried to finish the message her grandmother had given her: "Grandma said, don't go out, or she'll come looking for you again later."

Su Rouer seemed to be devastated by this. She cried and asked, "Ju Ge'er is my son! If I don't go out to find him, what else can I do?"

Xingxing was just a little girl of three years old, and she didn't know how to comfort her aunt who was out of control.

She thought hard and said seriously, "When Ju Ge'er is found, he will definitely want to see Auntie San right away. Auntie San will just have to wait for him at home."

Su Rouer couldn't help but burst into tears.

When the crescent moon rose, half of Nantuo Village was mobilized.

Many people took the initiative to come out to look for Brother Orange.

For a while, the entire hillside of Langshen Mountain was filled with the sound of people shouting “Ju Ge’er”.

However, the crowd searched until midnight but still did not find the person.

Someone couldn't help but whispered, "Could it be that the child was kidnapped?"

As soon as he said this, someone nudged him with his elbow, signaling him to speak in a lower voice. How sad would the Yu family be if they heard it?

As the night deepened, the villagers could not find the target anymore, so they retreated from Langshen Mountain one after another.

Finally, even the Yu family came back with grim looks on their faces.
